Advancing Education through Environmental Literacy
Education and the environment can be linked to advance student learning. This free publication demonstrates these linkages and includes descriptions of schools successfully implementing environmental education programs. It documents how schools have raised students' test scores by using the environment to help teach content in core subject areas. Meeting Standards Naturally, an introductory CD-ROM, is included with the publication. The CD-ROM also discusses what environmental literacy means and how it helps prepare students to effectively make environmental decisions that impact their daily lives. The CD-ROM includes 43 sample K-12 activities that demonstrate how environmental lessons can support learning specific grade level education standards. The publication was developed by ASCD (formerly the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) in collaboration with EETAP (to learn more about ASCD click on the link below).
